    Help Me Build My Dream Gaming/Streaming PC

    It's been 7 years since I built my first PC. And you guys helped me do it (I still remember Mfenn helping me every step of the way - I wonder if he's still around). That badboy ran for a solid 4 years, kicking every game's ass. It wasn't until 2015 that I had to upgrade my GPU since my old EVGA...

    SSD Being Slow

    Hey, so I've been using the SSD (Crucial m4 128gb) for about a month now and it's working great, I definitely notice the improved load times. But I benchmarked it and it's nowhere near where it should be, WIE is also only giving it a 7.2, when it should be scoring a 7.9. I've followed multiple...
